This band was programmed in the garden room. The two Belgians, the
Spaniard and the Frenchman invite us for a musical voyage. There is a
clear chemistry between the four musicians and takes us for a pure
melancholic trip that makes us forget the rest of the workd.
Gil Lachenal, with his expressive face moves kindly on his spot, with
the double bass as a dance partner.
By telling something about every tune the audience get connected with
the songs.
The standing ovation is more than justfied. Next time they will have
to bring more CD's.

No time left for reflection because in the garden room Filip Verneert
and Enrique Simon were ready to take over, together with their
bassplayer and drummer.
The concert of the Filip Verneert & Enrique Simon Quartet appeared to
be the sunday afternoon present of the festival.
The interaction between the Spanish pianoplayer Simon and his Belgian
soulmate Filp Verneert was refined and virtuoso.
Complex and at a high level but no difficult jazz. Melodic, harmonious
and therefore comprehensive for every listener.
Double bassplayer Gil Lachenal and drummer Frederik Van den Berghe are
the ideal rhythm section and played sophisticated and tasteful.
Every tune has it's own story or anecdote what made them even more interesting.
Nothing is what it seems to be. The apparently dyslectic Eden of
Garden is about motorbikers with tattoos in a kitchen garden. Giorni
della Merla is based on an Italian tale about white blackbirds
becoming black because of the cold. And October Nights refers to the
music of James Tayler.
